             Am       (Am Am Am C C Am)
I caught the darkness
                              (Am Am Am C C Am)
It was drinking from your cup
D                     (D D D F F D)
I caught the darkness

Am                   (Am Am Am C C Am)
Drinking from your cup
  E                         E7
I said "Is this contagious?"
          E    E7       Am   D Am
You said "Just drink it up"

E E7

E7       Am    (Am Am Am C C Am)
I got no future
                      (Am Am Am C C Am)
I know my days are few
D                                      (D D D F F D)
I know the present's not that pleasant

       Am                 (Am Am Am C C Am)
Just a lot of things to do
  E                              E7
I thought the past would last me
        E        E7       Am   D Am
But the darkness got that too

E E7

  E7                  Am    (Am Am Am C C Am)
I should have seen it coming
                             (Am Am Am C C Am)
It was right behind your eyes
         D                      (D D D F F D)
You were young and it was summer

       Am                (Am Am Am C C Am)
I just had to take a dive
E                    E7
Winning you was easy
    E        E7      Am    D Am
But darkness was the prize

E E7

  E7             Am        (Am Am Am C C Am)
I don't smoke no cigarette
                        (Am Am Am C C Am)
I don't drink no alcohol
        D                   (D D D F F D)

But that's always been your call
     E                   E7
Hey, I don't miss it baby
         E         E7          Am   D Am
I got no taste for anything at all

E E7

E7                 Am     (Am Am Am C C Am)
I used to love the rainbow
                           (Am Am Am C C Am)
And I used to love the view
  D                       (D D D F F D)
I loved the early morning

And I'd pretend that it was new
                 E              E7
But I caught the darkness, baby
      E      E7         Am   D Am
And I got it worse than you
